  • Effect of Interval Training on Selected Motor Abilities of Youth Football Players
    Aheibam Jamson Singh, Laishram Santosh Singh, Dessalegn Wase Mola
    Slobozhanskyi Herald of Science and Sport, 2025
    Background and Study Aim. Improving youth football players' performance requires developing fundamental motor skills, including speed, agility, and explosive strength. Interval training alternating high and low-intensity activities has shown to be an effective strategy for enhancing these abilities, helping young athletes improve their overall conditioning and reach higher performance levels on the field. This study aimed to examine the effects of a six-week interval training program on targeted motor skills, including speed, agility, and explosive strength, in young male football players. Material and Methods: The research comprised 30 male juvenile football players, aged 12 to 16 years, from ROOTS FA in Langthabal, Imphal West, Manipur, India. Researchers randomly allocated individuals into two groups: the experimental group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The researchers assessed speed using the 40-yard sprint test, agility using the shuttle run test (10 x 4 m), and explosive strength using the standing broad jump test. The interval training program lasted six weeks, consisting of sessions conducted five days a week (Monday to Friday) for 60 minutes each. The experimental group participated in the interval training program, but the control group did not undertake any targeted training sessions. Researchers evaluated pre-and post-test scores employing descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and ANCOVA, establishing a significant threshold of 0.05. Results. The results indicate a notable enhancement in motor skills among youth football players in the experimental group relative to the control group. The proper implementation of the interval training program significantly improved the athletes' speed, agility, and explosive strength. Conclusions. This study finds that a six-week interval training program markedly improves the motor skills of juvenile football players and is an excellent approach for enhancing overall performance. The results underscore the significance of organized interval training for enhancing athletic performance on the field.
  • Optimizing the Speed and Explosive Power Performance of Football Players: The Effect of a Six-Week Neuromuscular Training
    Laishram Santosh Singh, Ningthoujam Rojesh Singh, W. James Singh, Okram Robinson Singh, Dessalegn Wase Mola
    Physical Education Theory and Methodology, 2024
    Background. Football players require high levels of speed and explosive power to perform effectively on the field, making these physical attributes critical for success. Neuromuscular training has been proposed as a method to enhance these performance metrics. Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of neuromuscular training on the speed and explosive power performance of football players. Materials and methods. A total of thirty male football players (aged 20 to 26 years) from Imphal West District, Imphal, Manipur, India, who had participated in national-level competitions, were selected for the study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups: an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). Both groups were assessed before the intervention for speed and explosive power performance using the 50 m dash speed test and the standing broad jump test to determine the baseline significance of the selected variables. Following the initial assessments, the experimental group underwent a supervised neuromuscular training program, while the control groupreceived no special training. The neuromuscular training was conducted over a period of six weeks, with sessions held five days a week (Monday to Friday), each lasting 60 minutes. Results. The experimental group confirmed significant improvements in both speed and explosive power compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The mean and standard deviation of speed for the experimental group were 7.15 ± 0.71 in the pre-test and 6.54 ± 0.61 in the post-test. For explosive power, the values were 2.36 ± 0.32 in the pre-test and 2.55 ± 0.39 in the post-test. The notable enhancements in speed and explosive power performance in the experimental group are likely attributed to the six-week neuromuscular training program, which facilitated rapid physical adaptation among the football players. Conclusions. Implementing the six-week neuromuscular training program effectively enhanced the speed and explosive power performance of football players. This type of training has been demonstrated to be highly effective for optimizing these performance metrics in football players.

  • Concept of Plyometric Training and Its Effect on Physiological Parameters of Football Players
    Laishram Santosh Singh, W. James Singh, Kaukab Azeem, Ningthoujam Meiraba Meitei, Dessalegn Wase Mola
    Physical Education Theory and Methodology, 2024
    Background. Plyometric training, which consists of exercises that involve rapid and repetitive muscle stretching and contraction, has become increasingly popular for its potential in sports conditioning. Objectives. The primary objective of this study was to examine the principles of plyometric training and to assess how it influences the physiological parameters of football players. Materials and methods. This study involved 30 male football players aged 18 to 24, actively engaged in national-level competition. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15), with 15 players in each group. The selected physiological parameters for assessment included aerobic capacity, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Aerobic capacity was measured using Cooper’s 12-minute run/walk test, blood pressure was assessed with a sphygmomanometer, and pulse rate was measured using the radial artery method. The six-week plyometric training program, conducted five days a week, involved 60-minute sessions. The experimental group underwent the plyometric training program, while the control group did not engage in any specific exercises. Pre- and post-test scores were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The significance level was set at a confidence level of 0.05. Results. The findings indicate a notable enhancement in physiological parameters among participants in the experimental group as opposed to the control group. The implementation of the plyometric training program proved to be effective in elevating the aerobic capacity, blood pressure, and pulse rate of the football players. Conclusions. The study concludes that a six-week plyometric training program significantly enhances the physiological parameters of football players, including aerobic capacity, blood pressure, and pulse rate. Further research should be conducted to examine the long-term effects and optimal duration of plyometric training, as well as the underlying physiological mechanisms, in order to gain a deeper understanding of its effectiveness and applications in sports conditioning.

    Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Pranayama exercises on breath-holding capacity soccer players. Method: A total of thirty male soccer players (age 18 – 25 year) were selected from Manipur University, Canchipur, Imphal, Manipur (India) who participated in the national level competition. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups, experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The groups were measured before the intervention with the breath holding capacity. Breath holding capacity was assessed by Nostril clip method. The Pranayama exercises were carried out for the period of six weeks, five days training (Monday to Friday) and 60 minutes each session to the training group where no special exercise was administered to the control group. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the Analysis of pair ‘t’ test and Co-Variance(ANCOVA) for selected variables. Results: The experimental group showed improved scores in the breath holding capacity compared to the control group (p<0.05). The mean and standard deviation of the breath holding capacity for pre-test and post-test of the experimental group were 33.22±10.22 and 46.46±9.49 respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the breath holding capacity for pre-test and post-test of the control group were 33.17±11.64 and 33.09±11.33 respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that the pranayama training group had shown significantly improved breath-holding capacity and the control group had insignificant improvement. İt was confirmed that a six weeks Pranayama training program was effective to improve the breath-holding capacity of soccer players.
